Bangus Festival

I attended bangus festival few years ago with my friend and I really enjoy the festival. The bangus are really delicious and fresh in your place. How I wish I could visit Dagupan again.

This is the first time, i am hearing about this festival. where it is actually held, i mean to say in which city & country. Milk fish is what kind of fish, does it feed on milk ? In india, this kind of festival doesn't take place. I really wants to participate in this festival and take the enjoyment.

HI Kmz, yes.. I have already heard of Bangus festival. I am a Tourism graduate and during my stay in college we have covered all the famous festivals in the Philippines. In fact, my thesis was about Pahiyas Festival in Lucban. It is one of the most famous and colorful festival in the country. I am from Quezon province that is why I have picked this topic and I wanted to make this province gain more popularity. There is so much to do in Lucban. Apart from pahiyas festival, you can visit kamay ni Hesus or savor the famous langgonisang lucban or pancit habhab. I am looking forward to experiencing Bangus festival too. Hopefully, i would be able to go to Dagupan next year to celebrate the festival. Moreover, bangus (milkfish) is one of my favorites especially sinigang na bangs.

Hello kmz059, so that's why my relatives who came from states wants to visit the province in the first place, because it's the festives of the milk fish. I wish i can join and watch this festival to ensure that i get the chance to eat more milk fish, this is my favorite fish even more there's just too many small bones that aches my teeth hahaa

yes,i always heard that Bangus Festival that can only happen and festival of the province of Pangasinan,Dagupan is the exact place of the festival,they usually do parade in the street together with street dancing and of course different cook of big fish Bangus.

Yes, I think that is a good festival. I love the milkfish a lot. You should be really proud that your place supplies abundant bangus fish for people to consume.

Yes. I saw your Bangus Festival in TV Patrol last night. And I think your festival is so cool and I love to witness it in the coming years. I do hoped that more tourist will flocked in Dagupan in the coming years in order to join in your festival.

Sounds like a lot of fun and excitement where you live. Are you going to go and enjoy everything that is going on? I hope so cause I want to hear all about it. Have fun!

Hi, We have similar even here but not as widespread as in your place. In the neighboring town, there was this marine park, a twenty hectare lagoon in Macajalar Bay where fish cages ten by ten meters were anchored in ten, twenty fathoms deep buoyed up by empty oil drum and the milkfish fingerlings were contained in a net suspended along the bamboo poles. It is like a mixture of artificial fattening in a natural growing environment where the water does not become stagnant, the endemic species also growing fat from excess feed that manage to settle down to the bottom. In spite of the grand harvest occurring every now and then, the price of milkfish here is still high around Php150/kilogram few can only afford for daily consumption. The quality, though, is top notch having been grown as close to their natural habitat as possible. I don't know how you grow your milkfishes over there, maybe a mini description of the process could help in a sort of technology transfer here.

My father comes from Dagupan and I have visited the place several times in the past. One thing I really miss about Dagupan is bangus. Of all the fishes offered in the market, my favorite is bangus but it doesn't compare with the taste of fresh Dagupan bangus. I remember a restaurant where we used to eat that offers "inihaw na bangus" with bagoong. There was no bangus festival back then but I remember Dagupan as a bustling city.

Seems that we have a lot of festivals in our country. We are also having our magayon (beautiful) festival in our place. It is a month long celebration until the 30th. Hope you are enjoying the occasion. Have a great day!

I have heard of this festival but never gotten to actually witness it firsthand. It is one of the festivals in the Philippines that I really want to participate, especially in partaking the roasted milkfish on the streets. Since we just live in Manila and Pangasinan is just a couple of hours' drive away, it is very feasible for us to be there and enjoy. But for the life of me, I can't understand why when things like this happen, we have to attend to something else. Until I have to move to another country and now I regret to say that it will be awhile before I can experience this.

I have heard this many times but not given a chance to witness this kind of festival.Having a festival is really fun especially a street dancing competition, I like the costume that the dancers are wearing,How the showcase the festival during the day and night.Lots of people are attending and participating.Its nice to see that the people are enjoying.We will celebrate also a festival this coming September, A BONOK Bonok Festival.
